Exhaust
Would imagine the majority of parts are interchangeable. Subaru wouldn't want more costs than necessary between the saloon and wagon

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Went to start the car and dead battery :( ordered a battery booster so should be back working on Monday

Bought this engine told it was new
I guess it could look like this if stored terribly, especially if damaged in the floods, or stored in a pond.

What I thought, good quality and back up if something happens *knock wood* and it is coming as present from the missus with a new SD card and mount.

Also installed a turbo timer. I have ordered one of the dash cams as well. £11 from amazon, have watched footage from the same model on youtube and looks to be very very good.

Impreza Turbo 2000
Wired the radio so the aux input is now in the armrest and better hidden which is nice. Also installed a turbo timer.

Prodrive kit on a 2.5XT Forester.
Not sure about the prodrive pack or different engines on a Forester but I wouldn't be put off by the mileage assuming that it has a good history with regular oil changes. Many members have cars with higher mileage and no problems. Someone with experience in Foresters will be around soon

Valuations if possible please.
Good to hear

Valuations if possible please.
Oh yeah, I may have forgotten it was Cat D, probably looking around £2k for that then, sorry.

Taken the aux input wire for the radio under the center console and into the arm rest in the center,

I would call the bloke and voice your concerns, see what he says and take it from there really. Write down what he says about it all. And then if he doesn't offer some sort of refund or deal that you are happy with him start to imply you are looking to take him to court over fraud. That should scare him enough to refund something.

I would agree, 200 very dirty miles. Although very hard to prove that it hasn't...

I have heard you get a 5%-10% drop in power but never thought of it as a problem, even in a performance car. When you need the extra performance, on a track or a nice twisty road, just switch it to petrol; and on the way there and back run it off the LPG and save some dosh. Best of both worlds right there.

Well took a screen shot and saved as jpeg. List is as below

Impreza Turbo 2000
Well I have managed to find a center cap for £4.99 delivered to finish the set off which is good news. Going to get the wheels all looking as good as the clean one above in the next few days. And today I have made a excel spreadsheet of the jobs I need to get done.

I remember reading a AA stat that said 80% of tyre blowouts were small punctures and could therefore be fixed temporarily with foam. However I still carry a spare because sods law says you are going to be that 20% when you need the car the most. I also carry a foam thing for the sake of easiness if I do get a small puncture, don't really like the thought of changing a tyre on the side of the motorway. As for LPG I have been in a few (all taxi's in Aus have them) and you can't notice the difference at all, changing between fuels when driving you hear a little difference when they change but no performance drop was noticeable. Have looked at getting it done my self just don't think I run enough miles

Swapping Parts from a different year??
The wheels I believe are 5x100 pcd so that should work. I believe the calipers should be the Subaru 4 pots which you can swap, but different pads and bigger discs needed, although possibly the best mod you can do so worth doing it. As for the turbo and suspension I'm not sure, haven't got round to doing anything to mine yet so no idea although would be good to know. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will come along soon. Get some pics of your car uploaded as well, and let us know your plans. Plenty of friendly people here and good to get stuck in and not just car stuff.

Valuations if possible please.
You can always do the wrap yourself, not meant to be that hard with 2 people, and from the videos looks easy enough. I made money on the last car I had, excluding petrol and insurance, tallied it up when I sold it and made a healthy £31 profit:)

Swapping Parts from a different year??
Welcome to the club, from what I know not many of them will but I'm sure there is some compatibility. Is there anything in particular you were looking at?
-
where in Yorkshire are you from ?
Bradford in the week and Leeds on the weekend at the moment. And I will fill one of them out later tonight. Promise

Recirc valve
The pipe was blanked off just to the right of the intercooler. All on now and hopefully correct, engine sounded nice when running so hopefully everything working.
-
Valuations if possible please.
Sad to hear you might be selling but always nice with a company car. I would have looked at it at that price when I was buying mine, and would have probably asked more for it now. Paintwork isn't the end of the world as these are second cars for lots of people so they have money to put it right, or used as a trackday car where paintwork isn't as important. Hopefully you will get some good offers very close to the £2000 mark.

Recirc valve
So flip it over and then put a cap on it of some sort? Any idea on the best way to block it? And assuming it is safe to drive at the moment as it is just a blow off valve?
